Verse 1:
D     A
What can i say?
D     A            F     Dm
Why do we starve a thing thats near extinction?
D      A
From day to day
D      A           F
These weeds of fear Are choking our conviction
Em
Life's like a jig-saw
      Bb
You get the straight bits
           Dm             G
But there's something missing in the middle

Chorus:
          D          A
All Of A Sudden We find the cupboard's bare
          D          A
All of a sudden We find heaven's not there

In all your hurry you've accidentally locked the gate

D      A
What can we do?
D      A             F
Trying to stem the flow of sand is useless
D      A
It's up to you
D       A              F    Dm
start holding hands And watch the balance redress
Em
Life's like a firework
      Bb
You're only lit once
        Dm              G
And you must stand and radiate correctly
